Legal aid, as the provision of assistance to people who are unable to afford legal representation and access to the court system, is regarded as central in providing access to justice. Legal aid ensures equality before the law, the right to counsel and the right to a fair trial.
Legal aid is essential to guaranteeing equal access to justice for all, but the practical application of this guarantee differs from country to country. The speakers of the colloque are working lawyers in the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece and Turkey, confronted in their professional experience with legal aid, and will explain its functioning in the law and in the everyday praxis.
Through the presentation and analysis of these different national systems of legal aid, this initiative aims at exchanging strengths and weaknesses of the models and thus at elaborating minimal standards for legal aid. Legal aid, which can effectively provide assistance for those in need.

The issue of the use of technology in justice is not new – the intrusion of the scientific police and the use of anthropometric methods dating back to the late 19th century.
But the considerable advances in digital technologies in recent years have led to the systematization of these technologies in the methods of policing and justice. This includes both intelligence methods as opposable evidence and the use of algorithmic data processing as an aid to judges’ decision-making and, in some cases, to replace justice.
The use of these technologies, presented as an inescapable advance in the service of truth, necessarily raises the question of the contradictory and equality of the parties and weapons in litigation.
The aim of the symposium is therefore to confront these technologies with the fundamental principle of the contradictory.
It is also important to us that this symposium can highlight the solutions that lawyers have been able to find, in specific cases, to prevent the use of technology from preventing any conflicting debate.

La question de l’utilisation des technologies dans la justice n’est pas nouvelle – l’irruption de la police scientifique et l’utilisation des méthodes anthropométriques datant de la fin du 19° siècle.
Mais les progrès considérables des technologies numériques ces dernières années entrainent une systématisation de ces technologies dans les méthodes de police et de justice. On pense ainsi tant aux méthodes de renseignement comme preuves opposables que l’utilisation du traitement algorithmique des données comme aide à la décision des juges voire, dans certain cas, pour remplacer la justice.
L’utilisation de ces technologies, présentées comme un progrès inéluctable au service d’une vérité, pose nécessairement la question du contradictoire et de l’égalité des parties et des armes dans les contentieux.
Le colloque a donc pour objectif de confronter ces technologies au principe fondamental du contradictoire.

This webinar-series critically highlights interesting case law, legal developments in Europe in Asylum and Migration Law. We invite Lawyers to present interesting cases in order to share experiences and connect. We want to discuss the legal arguments but also the political context.
The aim of these webinars is to share practical experiences and to start a European, and global, communication amongst Lawyers concernig Migration and Asylum.
We are convinced we should organise strong positions amongst Lawyers to resist Fortress Europe and for the right of the freedom of movement.
